10 Best Monster Movies That Aren't American or Japanese According to CBR

Audiences think of two primary countries when they think of monster movies: the United States and Japan. The United States gave us King Kong and the lineup of Universal monster movies from the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. Japan, of course, is responsible for creating the kaiju genre as its understood today. The dominance that the U.S. and Japan have over monster movie lore means that other notable films easily fall under the radar. There have even been occasions when a movie from another country will outdo that which has been offered by the other two, and those made by England's Hammer Films, whose inclusion here would be a cop-out.
